What is truth?

Am I the only one who is screaming at the TV when President Obama is speaking?

Home for lunch, I turn on CNN and watch Obama’s speech … on Jan. 29. His speech was to show his immigration plan. Forget the rule of law and all those who waited and paid money to lawyers to enter the U.S. legally. I know some of these people.

Obama wants to open the gate for more illegal immigrants. Obama made the statement that under his administration, border crossings are down 80 percent. Obama forgot to mention that under his presidency unemployment is at record highs. The economy has been a disaster. Millions of Americans are out of work and may never return to the workforce. There are no jobs!

Now, at the cost to taxpayers, 15 million low-educated or uneducated people are eligible for U.S. benefits. But they will vote Democrat.

Obama wants to end conservatives and the Constitution that has built America. Protect the border first. Politicians need to tell the truth.

Outraged

I read that Bill Clinton has been named “father of the year” by The National Father’s Day Council (http://utsd.us/YmywTc).

I am personally outraged. In response, I have requested my kids to not send me any Father’s Day cards this year. I would like to see the idea picked up nationally, to send a message.

Why did Newtown spark gun debate?

Newtown happens and, all of a sudden, the Second Amendment should be repealed or revised. Nineteen of the 20 of the Newtown children killed are white. Last year, 400-plus school age children were shot in Chicago, with the strongest gun laws in the country. Yet despite this, we never hear about it from the government, and there is no action against the Second Amendment.

Is this not newsworthy because the majority of the kids were black? Or do we not want to show Chicago in a bad light?
